on rotten tomatoes, apostasy has 100% success from critics (very rarely that critics are unanimous in their approval of a film) and 97% from the audience.
i have loved reading the reviews as they are almost all ex jw's but there is one glaring review that is almost certainly from one active jw who is pleading that the film be banned, even though they haven't actually seen it (typical) and it made me laugh:.

Hint: Silas :)
according to the crown prosecution service, "concealing an arrestable offence" is a criminal act - punishable by law.. "the offence of perverting the course of justice overlaps with a number of other statutory offences.
before preferring such a charge, consideration must be given to the possible alternatives referred to in this charging standard and, where appropriate, any of the following offences; concealing an arrestable offence: s.5 criminal law act 1967.

I used to volunteeer at the conventions and was always appalled at the lengths that "security" went through to hide that fact that a known paedophile was right there int he midst of the audience.
Sometimes the abuser would comply and sit in an allocated place so "security" could keep an eye on them, but more often than not, they would give "security" the slip and disappear into the toilets etc.
A year never went by without some attempted abuser abduction on some child and yet it was NEVER reported.
It was sickenig.
I always used to let families know when there was a known abuser there. My conscience would not allow me to keep quiet and yet I was the one seen as a trouble maker!!!
well today marks the beginning and biggest day of our protest at the london excel.. we believe it's a record number at around 100 exjws at the front door.. we spoke to lots of jw's and one young man studying who has quit after talking to us.
we've been approached privately by jw's who thanked us for coming and the security at the event treated us very well.. if anyone wants to see some clips they are available on my channel the great apostate.. thanks to all for the support and love..
Thanks for update Joephus. I am glad that you have seen some results after all the work you have put in. Hopefully some enquiring JW minds will see that you are a good guy and are there to help them get out of the zombiefied bubble of a world that they are in.

Dubfounded, that is actually a really good point and a great retort to their own spin.
I'd be interested to know what the stats were at JW Facts.
on weekend mornings i like to take my dog for a long walk at a nearby lake.
recently there's been some cultists and a propaganda cart posted up along my walking path.
until today i've ignored them.
I actually can't believe their complacent, couldn't care a less attitude.
If they REALLY believed that armageddon was coming soon then they show utter contempt and a complete pious, "I'm alright Jack, F*** You", attitude knowing that the rest of us are all going to be killed (their beliefs not mine).
In the age of information overload and tools like the Internet, is this REALLY the way that Jehovah would want the warning message to be given?
If so, it would show hims as a murderous, evil God because most people would want to do some research first if they became interested in Jehovahs Witnesses. The results online are damning.
By their bored demanour they know in their hearts that their message is wrong. They are just counting time so it looks good on their monthly reports.
I pity them when I see them now. What a waste of a life.

I have just watched Josephus's latest video on Youtube (The Great Apostate) and although I don't agree with the methods of protesting, I take my hat off to him because I did not realise just what else he does to help ex-witnesses.
He doesn't JUST protest but assists many ex JW's both financially with practical help at great cost to himself, not just finanancially but emotionally.
For what it is worth, I have a new found respect for him and for his work ad I owe him an apology for putting such a downer on his big weekend which took a lot of organising, preparation and personal financial cost.
Wishing him a safe journey home and am glad that he felt that his weekend went well.
The link to the video,,,, 3 mins 35 seconds in is particularly poignant

So this site is now controlled by self appointed police and nobody is allowed to express their viewpoint anymore.
Sounds familiar.
I will "piss off" then
Ps. And I DID stand up.....I lost contact with my entire family when I left the JW's ...I haven't even met my new grandchild. I didn't have any qualifications to fall back on or a well paid job and have had to start from scratch which is not easy for a man in his late 50's. I just know pointless it is holding placards up at a conventiopn, no mattter how well intentioned.
Josephus, this campaign is burning you up. If that is how you want to live your life, that is up to you. But I have every right as you to express my opinion. Your fight has NOT been tougher than mine just because you choose to protest.

Just fine....
You said: "It just irritates me when people think they have the right to decide for someone else how to best be an ex-JW."
Was that referring to me?
If so, then you have cherry picked my posts because that is not what I was saying (please re-read if in doubt)..
If not and it was a general comment then no offence taken.

Just Fine....I am in agreement with you.
However, Josephus and many active protesters are not healing. They are so consumed by this awful cult that they relive the hurt and anger every day (Look at the poor guys videos if you don't believe me.).
I would love to see them 'heal' and feel better. If I genuinely thought or saw evidence that protesting would heal them I would be all for it.
Each to their own.

"Not my ex JW viewpoint, though. And not for others too it would seem."
So Freddo, you think that strong faithful witnesses would sit up and take notice of protesting apostates outside a convention?
Really?
